'Stop Killing Cyclists' Protest Underway In Dublin

News

Protesters have gathered outside Leinster House calling on the Government to invest in safer streets for cyclists.

The demonstration comes after a teenage cyclist was killed in an accident near Donnybrook in Dublin last Wednesday.

The death brings to five the number of cyclists killed on Irish roads this year.

Meanwhile 14 pedestrians have already been killed on Irish roads this year.

This evening’s silent demonstration outside Government buildings was organised by I BIKE and the Dublin Cycling Campaign, to express their “sorrow and anger at this latest death on Irish roads, and to call on the government to invest in safer streets as a matter of urgency.”
